Plant With Purpose

Vision Trip to Thailand

January 2019

On a recent trip to Northern Thailand in January 2019 with Plant With Purpose, Leslie Calhoun visited the hill tribe villages established by refugees from nearby countries where she witnessed the positive effects of the charity as evidenced by the progress made to reverse deforestation and teach economic empowerment. In these villages, Plant with Purpose has worked alongside the villages for years to teach sustainable agricultural processes and establish VSLA (Village Savings and Loan Associations) leading to healthier people and relationships. While these refugees have extremely meager monetary wealth, they have immense wealth in relationships and faith.
